Due to the rapid expansion of the army in Pingyuan County, there are newly established corps, and the guards of the City Lord's Mansion do not know all the corps commanders, but seeing that Cheng Jin is full of confidence when he speaks, his momentum is rushing, and if there is no one around, it is estimated that what he said is true, and the guards are afraid and do not dare to go forward easily.

Cheng Jin didn't care so much, grabbed the family and went straight to Wang Meng's bedroom.

As soon as he arrived at the door, the door opened, and out of it came a middle-aged man with a short figure and a fat body, this person's eyes were not big, his bones were spinning, and when he came out, his face was still angry, and he shouted and asked: "Why is it so messy? What happened......" Before he finished speaking, he looked at Cheng Jin, who was walking towards him.

Others don't know Cheng Jin, but Wang Meng can know him, he met him in the county capital, but he doesn't know his name, he doesn't know his official rank, only knows that he is a person close to Tang Yin. At this time, he suddenly saw Cheng Jin, Wang Meng was stunned, and said suspiciously: "You ......"

As soon as he said the word you, Cheng Jin had already strode up to him, without saying a word, he grabbed his neck first, and said coldly: "What a bold dog official, corrupt and perverted the law, it is not a pity to die, what else do you have to say now?"

Wang Meng was blinded by Cheng Jin's scolding and scolding, he opened his eyes blankly and muttered, "You...... What do you mean by that?"

"What do you mean?" Cheng Jin pushed Wang Meng, who had just gone out, back into the bedroom with a strong palm, and then closed the door with the situation, and then said: "Don't mention the miscellaneous things in your silver vault for the time being, you tell me, what's going on with the million taels of silver in the secret room?"

Hearing this, Wang Meng's head suddenly buzzed, and he subconsciously gasped, how did he know about the secret room of the silver vault, and how did he know that there was silver in the secret room? Except for himself and two close henchmen, no one knew about this. His face changed drastically, and he stayed where he was, silent for a long time.

"Hmph!" Cheng Jin snorted coldly, dragged Wang Mengyong to the table, picked up the paper and pen, handed it to him, and said: "Write me everything about how you are corrupt and bend the law and collect money, write it now!"

Wang Meng came back from the shock, he didn't laugh hard, and said in a trembling voice: "This ...... This general, you ...... You misunderstood, all this silver belongs to my friend, and he has deposited it with me temporarily!" After speaking, his round head was dotted, indicating that what he said was not false.

Cheng Jin believed his nonsense, and sneered: "It seems that if you don't use some tough means, you won't be honest!" As soon as the words fell, he punched Wang Meng hard in the lower abdomen.

Wang Meng is a civil official, he doesn't know how to be martial arts, and he is pampered on weekdays, how can he be beaten like this, and he screams in pain with a punch, like a deflated leather ball, and his body sliding softly along the table leg to the ground.

This is not the end, Cheng Jin opened his fist, the black mist was released from the palm of his hand, and in the blink of an eye, the black mist condensed, turning into a layer of dark and shiny spirit armor in his hand, and he looked at it coldly, as if he had a black iron glove on his hand.

Opening his palm, Cheng Jin clasped Wang Meng's left wrist, I didn't see how hard he used, but the five fingers were recovered, with a crisp click, Wang Meng's wrist bone was shattered with a hard sound, but if you look at the surface is still intact, but the whole palm has been pulled down unnaturally, swaying back and forth in the air.

It really hurts to the bone. Wang Meng had never been so painful in his life, he let out a scream like killing a pig, and then rolled his eyes and fainted in pain.

At the same time, there was an exclamation from the inside of the bedroom. Cheng Jin turned his head to see that there was still a young woman sitting on the bed in the room, she was holding a quilt in both hands, covering her chest, her body trembling violently, obviously stunned by the scene in front of her.

There was no threat to himself, Cheng Jin ignored the woman, and returned his gaze to the unconscious Wang Meng. He squatted down, pointed his fingernails at Wang Meng's middle man, and suddenly pressed down hard, the latter snorted twice, and woke up faintly.

Cheng Jin threw the pen and paper on the ground and shouted, "Write! If you don't want to suffer from it, just write it for me obediently, otherwise," his palm covering the spirit armor shook in front of Wang Meng's eyes, and said: "Next, I will crush your feet, gouge out your eyes, buckle your nose, and finally break your neck!"

"Oops" Wang Meng groaned in pain, he didn't even dare to look at his shattered wrist bones, his white and fat face was covered with sweat at this time, and he said tremblingly: "I...... I am a dignified royal court official, the lord of Hengcheng, you ...... You are bold and reckless, and I will not let you go......"

Cheng Jin nodded and said, "Since you want to be a ghost, I will fulfill you!" As he spoke, he moved his palm down, clasped Wang Meng's ankle, leaned forward slightly, and made a gesture to pinch it.

Thinking of the unbearable pain just now, Wang Meng shivered, and he said repeatedly: "Wait a minute! Wait a minute! General, as long as you can let me go, I will give you all the money in the treasury, that's one million taels, think about it, even if you are a general for a lifetime, you can't make so much money!"

Cheng Jin seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world, couldn't help but smile on his back, and said slowly: "If it's just for money, I won't join the army, with my cultivation, I only need to be a bandit for a few years to make a lot of money, but that's not what I want." You don't die, you still want to be dying when disaster strikes, but how can I be your pathway!" Before he finished speaking, Cheng Jin's wrist holding Wang Meng's ankle began to slowly tighten.

This time, he didn't crush his ankle bone all at once, but slowly applied force evenly, and of course, he also made Wang Meng's pain deeper and heavier.

"Ahh

"Don't pinch it anymore, I'll write, I'll write......" He was tortured by Cheng Jin, who didn't eat soft and hard, and almost collapsed, howling like crazy, while snot and tears flowed out together, mixed with the sweat on his cheeks, and his whole face was blurred.

"Very good!" Listening to him write, Cheng Jin nodded with satisfaction, then let go of Wang Meng's ankle and pushed the pen and paper in front of him.

Forced to be helpless, Wang Meng wrote down how he was corrupt and bent the law to forcibly collect taxes from merchants in the city. In fact, in just a few years, he was able to collect as much as one million taels of wealth in the impoverished Hengcheng, and what he did was by no means all, but Cheng Jin ignored so much, just this one was enough to cure Wang Meng's crime, and what he wanted was this.

When Wang Meng finished writing, he picked up the paper and looked at it, and after confirming it, he cut Wang Meng's fingers with a steel knife and drew a confession with his own blood.

After finishing these, Cheng Jin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it is also risky for him to force Wang Meng to confess, in case the latter is hard enough to admit whether he is alive or dead, then it is not easy for him to explain to Tang Yin, no matter what, Wang Meng is also a dignified city lord, and his own lynching is unjustifiable in legal theory, but fortunately, Wang Meng is soft-boned, and he will admit it when he is scared.

At this time, there was a sudden chaos outside the city lord's mansion, and then, the door of the mansion was smashed open from the outside, and the officers and soldiers of the brigade rushed closer.

The guards of the City Lord's Mansion were all half frightened to death when they saw this, and they all retreated one after another, and there was no one who spoke in front of them.

With a large number of officers and soldiers rushing in, Tang Yin also strode close from the outside, and beside him there were Aoqing who reported the news and Guan Yuanji who heard the news.

Under Aoqing's guidance, Tang Yin and Guan Yuanji first went to the silver treasury of the City Lord's Mansion, where they saw Wang Meng's hoarded belongings.

Don't look at the silver first, the antiques and brocades outside the secret room alone are worth a lot of money, and then enter the secret room and see the mountains of silver ingots inside, Tang Yin and Guan Yuanji are a little stunned.

Tang Yin had never seen so much silver in his life, and it was shocking that a mere city lord could collect money to such an extent.

And Guan Yuanji was surprised at the same time, his face also turned red, he was in charge of internal affairs, and he could not escape the blame for the appearance of such a big corrupt official within the scope of his responsibility.

In fact, Guan Yuanji has replaced a number of officials since he took office, but those are directly under the county, and he has not put more energy into the cities and towns in the county for the time being.

Even so, Guan Yuanji still felt a fever on his face, and after exiting the secret room with Tang Yin, he gave a deep salute and said apologetically: "My lord, this is the fault of his subordinates, and it is the negligence of his subordinates!"

At this time, Tang Yin was very open-minded, and did not blame Guan Yuanji, but comforted: "Yuanji, this is not your fault, the person who bends the law for bribes is Wang Meng, not you, not to mention that you deal with government affairs, many trivial matters, how can you do everything, you are not a god!"

Hearing him say this, Guan Yuanji's mood was not only not relaxed, but he felt even more ashamed.

He shook his head and smiled bitterly, Tang Yin's deep understanding of things would only make him do his best more and the burden on his shoulders would become heavier.

Tang Yin asked Jiaxi, who was guarding the silver vault, "Where is Cheng Jin?"

"My lord, the captain has gone to find Wang Meng!"

"Oh!" Tang Yin answered, and then found a guard from the City Lord's Mansion, guided by him, and headed towards Wang Meng's bedroom.

When Tang Yin and the others arrived at Wang Meng's bedroom, the latter had been tortured by Cheng Jin and was dying, delirious, his eyes were looking at Tang Yin, but his gaze was out of focus.

Cheng Jin on the side hurriedly stepped forward to salute and whispered, "My lord!" As he spoke, he handed over the confession written by Wang Meng respectfully.

Tang Yin lowered his head, signaled that Cheng Jin didn't need to be polite, then took the confession, unfolded it and looked at it carefully, after reading it roughly, he threw the confession to the ground, stared at Wang Meng, and said in a cold voice: "In order to make Pingyuan County prosper quickly and let the people live and work in peace and contentment, the county has specially formulated a policy of reducing and reducing commercial taxes, but you, as the city lord, have gone against the grain and filled your pockets, and your sin is unforgivable!"
